Teenage Wasteland

Wow! This story made me so mad. I really did not like Donny at all. Daisy seemed like a caring parent and all she wanted was for her son to do good and school and be a good student. Donny does not need a tutor to do good in school he needs to quit being so lazy. Their is only one name for the character Cal in this story and that is, hippy. He thinks that not being so hard on Donny will take some stress off of him and make him better in school, but it had no affect on it. I do not think that Cal actually taught Donny anything and the only thing they did was just hangout the whole time he was over their. This is why he wanted the teachers to call him instead of Donny's parents so they wouldn't find out. At the end of this novel I really hated Cal and Donny, and I am glad that Donny ran away, because he probably ended up being a bum preaching his hippy ways, and that is what he deserves to be, a bum. I felt bad for the rest of the family, because they all had to suffer just because Donny is lazy.
